Meet Your Teacher Night

So, my journey into SVE is becoming more and more exciting. Tonight was our Open House, and it was a kick to see all the kids in the building! I only met one of my actual students, but I met MANY of the kids as I stood in the front of the building and said, "Welcome to SVE. I'm glad you're here!" Everyone smiled and giggled as I would joke with the kids. In fact, several of the kids had Mizzou shirts on and I offered to hook them up with KU wear. Noone took me up on it, but it was a hoot to see their reactions! I think everyone laughed, and I know everyone at least smiled. :-)

Tomorrow is Transition Day for us, where our Kindergarteners have a half-day of school. They will be met at the busses, taken to their rooms, and have activities all morning and will get back on the bus and head home at the end of the morning. I have never been in a district that did this, so I'm anxious to see how it goes. Throughout the district kids in grades K, 7, and 10 will have a half-day as they begin their new schools. It will be fun to see how it goes.

I came home and my neighbors were out front and we took Jay for a walk. Jay has been a great way to get to know people as EVERYONE likes to pet him. K-Kid down the road took him from us and walked him on his own. And, he's 5! It's been GREAT. Garth walked him the rest of the time, and Jay loved it because Garth would run with him. I enjoyed it as I didn't have to control him. It's fun to be meeting people and making friends.

Well, tomorrow is a full-day, so I need to crash.

Life.
Is.
Good.
